Writer's Block
Dawn Harrison was a best-selling author; or at least she had been some 15 years ago in her mid-30's. Her first (and so far, only) novel had been on the New York Times Best Seller's list for more than four weeks. Rave reviews, a weeks-long book tour, royalties, special appearances and some small degree of fame followed. She enjoyed it all. Of course, she was always asked when she expected to publish her next book, and her response was always the same "I'm working on some ideas, and I expect to publish my next book soon."
But eventually, there were no more interviews and the reading public moved on. It's not that she hadn't tried. She lost count of the many times she sat down in front of her laptop, typed a few words and then spent the next hour staring at the blinking cursor on the screen. Ideas, characters, and scenarios spun around in her head like snow in a snow globe, but never seemed to settle into a comprehensible pattern. Traffic noise outside her 5
th
story condo never ceased and her mind raced with disconnected thoughts that never seemed to coalesce into a story line. Her savings nearly exhausted and her ego at a low ebb, she decided a change of scenery might help to trigger her inspiration once again. There were simply too many distractions in the city.
So, she rented a cabin on a small lake in Northern Wisconsin. It was more than a six-hour drive from her condo in Chicago, and totally isolated. She hoped that it would help her finally settle her thoughts and focus sufficiently to write seriously again. She rented the cabin over the phone, sight-unseen, as she wasn't really interested in its amenities as much as its total seclusion.
She arrived at dusk. There was a slight chill in the mid-September air, and the trees were ablaze with their fall colors in promise of the winter to come. The cabin was well off the main road, reachable by a winding gravel drive that terminated at the lake-front cabin. Towering trees surrounded the two-story log structure, leaning in and swaying in the wind. A storm was apparently building, so Dawn hastened to unload her luggage and the groceries she had brought with her. She fumbled for the light switch as she entered, found it and flicked it on. The main room was filled with large pieces of furniture, constructed mostly of twisted oak. In the upstairs bedroom, the four-poster queen size bed, on a raised platform, dominated the room. It more or less what she expected.
Dawn was tired from her long drive. So, she put away her groceries and headed up the steps to the main bedroom to turn in for the night. She quickly unpacked. One of the last items to be tucked away was her favorite vibrator, which she placed in the drawer of the night stand next to the bed. She often used it to "relax" herself before sleeping, but not tonight, as she was eager to get a start her new novel. On the drive up, a new story had emerged from the word salad that had been tumbling around in her head and she wanted to get a start on it while it was still fresh. She undressed and slipped under the covers, wearing her usual night-time sleepwear consisting of a tee shirt and panties. She took out her laptop and opened it up. It was going to be an erotic love story. She started to type and, unlike before, the words came easily and soon she realized she had finished the first chapter.
Her story began with an erotic scene of a young woman losing her virginity to an older man. Unlike the young boys she had been with previously, this man took his time kissing and caressing her, he knew just where and how to touch her in such a way that her desire for him rose as rapidly as her fears of the unknown fell away. When he finally entered her ever so slowly and gently, she felt only a moment's discomfort followed by wave after wave of bliss. Dawn felt a familiar stirring in her own body upon reflecting on what she had written, and briefly contemplated reaching for her vibrator to pleasure herself to sleep, but weariness overtook her as she placed the laptop to one side and slipped into a deep sleep.
The light coming through the open window woke her in the morning. She felt more refreshed and rested than she had been in a long time. She closed her eyes tightly and tried to slip back into the wonderful dream she had been having just before she awoke. It was a marvelous sex dream - something she had not experienced in many years. In her dream, a strange man had slipped into her bed late at night, kissed her lightly on her neck and shoulders until she was suspended between a dream state and being awake. He removed her panties, parted her thighs and proceeded to lick and suckle on her clit until she exploded in an orgasm. Then he entered her with his massive cock. She was so wet that he easily pushed into her. As they made love, she drew her knees up to her chest and begged him to cum in her.
Unable to summon up the dream, Dawn opened her eyes to the realization that she was, indeed lying in a large wet spot. Perhaps she had a wet dream she thought. That hadn't happened in a long time either, but she remembered having fallen asleep feeling aroused and thought that it was definitely possible. Tentatively, and a bit fearful of what she might find, she reached between her legs with two fingers to feel herself. She was wet - very wet, but was it just
